Discusses the term vineyard and the term orchard as used in Jacob 5 and in the King James Bible. Semitic languages may imply a more general meaning to the word translated as vineyard. The broader sense of the word means “generous, good, fertile land,” and may include both orchard and vineyard in Egyptian. In Coptic it may mean garden. The use of the word in Jacob 5 follows ancient tradition.
